Boston goes under the knife

Indiana Fever forward Aliyah Boston has undergone arthroscopic surgery on her right knee, the franchise confirmed. The 2023 top pick is set to begin rehabilitation shortly as she targets a return ahead of the next WNBA campaign.

A season of highs and lows

Boston wrapped up her fourth professional season on a reflective note, posting photos and expressing gratitude for her development. Teammate Lexie Hull offered warm praise for Boston's evolution - both as a player and, endearingly, as a dog mum - highlighting the tight-knit culture within the squad.

The Fever posted a franchise-record number of wins in 2026, but their season ended abruptly with a playoff defeat to the Las Vegas Aces, exposing clear weaknesses.

Frontcourt depth and defensive woes

General manager Amber Cox has pinpointed frontcourt reinforcements and perimeter defence as top offseason priorities. Indiana were stretched thin behind Boston at centre and power forward, a vulnerability laid bare by A'ja Wilson's dominance in the playoffs.

Defensively, the numbers were damning. The Fever ranked ninth in defensive rating and conceded the fifth-most points in the league - a gulf between their attacking output and backline resilience that proved fatal in the postseason.

Key roster calls loom

Significant decisions await. Kelsey Mitchell is set to become an unrestricted free agent, while discussions around a contract extension for Caitlin Clark remain a priority. How the Fever handle both situations - alongside bolstering their depth - could define whether 2027 brings a genuine title push.
